Illuminating Magnifying Lens Capable of Focusing its Light on Objects

ABSTRACT

An illuminating magnifying lens capable of focusing its light on objects in accordance with the present invention comprises a frame connected to a handle, and in a part of the handle jointing to the frame is defined an assembling groove in which being assembled a lamp, a battery and a light guiding member. When the magnifying lens is used to magnify the object, the projecting light of the lamp is restricted by the light guiding member and can only be emitted out from the open end of the guiding hole, plus there is projecting angle between the guiding hole and the lens element, therefore, the light of the lamp will be directed toward the object without projecting onto the lens element, thus preventing dazzling reflection.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application is a continuation application of U.S. patentapplication Ser. No. 13/196,677 filed on Aug. 2, 2011, of which theentire disclosure is incorporated herein.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a magnifying lens, and moreparticularly to an illuminating magnifying lens capable of focusing itslight on objects.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Handheld magnifying lens is a very useful tool, and in order for themagnifying lens to be used in a dark environment, as shown in FIG. 1, aconventional magnifying lens 10 is provided at one side of a lenselement 11 thereof with lamps 12 for illumination purpose.

It is to be noted that all the lamps 12 of the conventional illuminatingmagnifying lens 10 are all disposed around a lens frame 13 adjacent tothe lens element 11, and the luminous point of the lamps 12 are veryclose to the lens element 11, such that the light of the lamps 12 willbe projected on the lens element 11, causing dazzling reflection, whichwill have adverse influence on the use of the magnifying lens 10.

Hence, the present invention is aimed at providing a luminous magnifyinglens which is free of dazzling reflection by focusing the light of thelamps onto the object to be illuminated.

The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate theafore-described disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide anilluminating magnifying lens capable of focusing its light on objects.When the magnifying lens is used to magnify the object, the projectinglight of the lamp is restricted by the light guiding member and can onlybe emitted out from the open end of the guiding hole, plus there isprojecting angle between the guiding hole and the lens element,therefore, the light of the lamp will be directed toward the objectwithout projecting onto the lens element, thus preventing dazzlingreflection.

To achieve the above object, an illuminating magnifying lens capable offocusing its light on objects comprising: a frame connected to a handle,and in a part of the handle jointing to the frame being defined anassembling groove covered with a cover, in the cover being formed with ahole, and an optical lens element being disposed in the frame, and animaginary line defined by a periphery of the lens element being definedas longitudinal direction; a lamp disposed in the assembling groove andaligned with the hole to allow light of the lamp to be emitted outthrough the hole; a battery disposed in the assembling groove as a powersource of the lamp; a light guiding member being light proof, one end ofthe light guiding member being formed with a vertical surface to beinserted in the assembling groove; characterized in that:

a guiding surface extends from the vertical surface toward another endof the light guiding member and is formed with a guiding hole, animaginary line extending outward from the guiding hole is defined asprojecting line which defines a projecting angle ranging from 35-65degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction of the lens element,the vertical surface of the light guiding member is inserted in theassembling groove, and the lamp is disposed in the guiding hole, so thatthe light of the lamp is projected toward the object through an open endof the guiding hole and the hole.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will be clearer from the following descriptionwhen viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, forpurpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment in accordancewith the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 2-7, an illuminating magnifying lens 20 capable offocusing its light on objects in accordance with the present inventioncomprises a frame 21 connected to a handle 22, and in a part of thehandle 22 jointing to the frame 21 is defined an assembling groove 23 inwhich being assembled a lamp 30, a battery 40 and a light guiding member50.

The assembling groove 23 of the magnifying lens 20 is covered with acover 24 which is formed with a hole 241, and a lens element 25 isdisposed in the frame 21, and the imaginary line defined by theperiphery of the lens element 25 is defined as longitudinal direction A.

The lamp 30 consists of LED (light emitting diode) disposed in theassembling groove 23 and aligned with the hole 241, so that the light ofthe lamp 30 is emitted out through the hole 241.

The battery 40 is disposed in the assembling groove 23 as a power sourceof the lamp 30.

The light guiding member 50 is light proof and made of plastic, metal,wood and etc. One end of the light guiding member 50 is formed with avertical surface 51, and a guiding surface 52 extends from the verticalsurface 51 toward another end of the light guiding member 50 and isformed with a guiding hole 521. The imaginary line extending outwardfrom the guiding hole 521 is defined as projecting line B which definesa projecting angle X ranging from 35-65 degrees with respect to thelongitudinal direction A of the lens element 25. The vertical surface 51of the light guiding member 50 is inserted in the assembling groove 23,and the lamp 30 is disposed in the guiding hole 521, so that the lightof the lamp 30 is projected toward the object 60 through an open end 522of the guiding hole 521 and the hole 241.

For a better understanding of the operation of the present invention,reference should be made back to FIGS. 5-7, when the magnifying lens 20is used to magnify the object 60, the projecting light of the lamp 30 isrestricted by the light guiding member 50 and can only be emitted outfrom the open end 522 of the guiding hole 521, plus there is projectingangle X between the guiding hole 521 and the lens element 25, therefore,the light of the lamp 30 will be directed toward the object 60 withoutprojecting onto the lens element 25, thus preventing dazzlingreflection.

Referring then to FIGS. 3 and 7, the lamp 30 is disposed at the jointbetween the handle 22 and the frame 21, plus the design of theprojecting angle X, the lamp 30 not only won't cause dazzling reflectionto the lens element 25 but also won't affect the grip of the handle 22.

Referring finally to FIG. 6, the illuminating periphery of the lamp 30is fully enclosed by the inner surface of the guiding hole 521 of thelight guiding member 50, the projecting light of the lamp 30 can only beprojected out from the open end 522 of the guiding hole 521, namely, theprojecting angle of the lamp 30 is restricted, and the light of the lamp30 can be prevented from projecting onto the lens element, thus solvingthe problem of dazzling reflection.

While we have shown and described an embodiment in accordance with thepresent invention, it is clear to those skilled in the art that furtherembodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the presentinvention.
